Homer Boling, 36, was fatally shot on May 6, 2018, at a residence on Brandywood Court in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Investigators identified his 17-year-old stepson as the shooter; the teenager told police he had borrowed a gun intending to shoot Boling in the legs because Boling had allegedly harmed the teen’s mother, and said Boling approached him aggressively before he opened fire. Messages recovered from the teen’s phone, however, indicated a plan to shoot Boling had been discussed well before the shooting.

The stepson, Tanner Perruquet, was prosecuted as an adult and initially charged with murder-domestic violence and tampering with physical evidence. In October 2021 Perruquet, then 21, pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of second-degree manslaughter; his attorney argued he believed he was defending his mother. At sentencing Perruquet expressed remorse and his mother testified that Boling had been abusive toward her. The plea agreement recommended a 10-year prison term.

Does anyone have information about the events at the Brandywood Court residence or knew the victim or his family?
